Afro Elite Addresses Chicago Mayor

When Brandon Johnson was running to become the mayor of the city of Chicago he promised several times that he would not raise property taxes.

Because of his administration the city of Chicago is over a billion dollars in debt which he needs to quickly start recovering, so he's making the residents pay the bill.

I had to call out his hypocrisies and stated how the Black community will be the main ones to face the burnt of his property tax and other tax increases in the city of Chicago taken in Chicago by @afroelite

Caitlin Clark on SNL!?

Women's college basketball star Caitlin Clark and her team the Iowa Hawkeyes are being promoted like champions after over the Black team that won

Caitlin Clark has impressive stats (I'll give her that) but her team doesn't. So even if one makes the argument that she would get promotion due to how good of a player she is why does the whole team get promoted.

This season and last season Black teams won and you don't see the media pedestalizing them like they due with the white team. Angel Reese was referred to as a villain actually, this is another example of racism in sports. #CaitlinClark #AngelReese #basketball by @afroelite

Dr. Ibram X. Kendi is INCORRECT

Black Americans are calling unjust preferential treatment that immigrants received from the government as far as resources and opportunities which enables them as a buffer class above us. This is a tactic that furthers our subjugation

That is a legitimate complaint.

White people have historical been used to racial privilege and anything that seeks to challenge that gets labeled as unfair and discrimination against them. It's not the same at all by @afroelite

Black Americans won't tolerate disrespect from first generation immigrants like Davinchi

If we went to his homeland of Haiti and said spoke down on them none of them would put up with it.

We've paved the road for them to come here and be successful and they turn around and throw push racist stereotype about us

BAD LOGIC ⚠️

Stop trying to make black celebrities be a representative of the community. Regardless of your opinion on a celebrity or a specific situation we need to stop making them the reflection of our community.

There is no celebrity that is the barometer of Black people by @afroelite

Had to correct the Illinois State Reparations commission about the term “African Decendant Citizens” when speakimg on Lineage Based Reparations for Foundational Black Americans.

Races based legislation is unconstitutional therefore the language needs to be clearly exclusive to a specific lineage. This is one of the biggest holdup that starts us back that we need to clear up before we move forward. taken in The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center by @afroelite
